Before the Bell Rings 8.16.10

It's been a long time since my last post and a lot has happened. I'll sum it up quick.
  • I survived student teaching.
  • I graduated
  • I traveled to NYC for a book fair by myself.
  • I attended over six weddings this summer.
  • I went to Louisville and St. Louis.
  • I made several trips to ND and SD
  • I managed to not be home a single weekend.
  • I started dating the man of my dreams.
  • I put thousands of miles on my car.
  • I found an apartment.
  • I obtained keys to my classroom.
  • I set up my classroom.
  • I attended new teacher inservice.
  • I turned 23 on my best friend's wedding ... er she got married on my 23rd birthday. Whatever.
  • I start school tomorrow.
So that's about it.

Okay, so a bunch of other stuff happened too, but that covers the most important stuff. It's now the night before my first day of teaching. Throughout my career I'll have many "first days of school," but tomorrow is my first and only "first day of teaching." Tomorrow's the day I've been preparing for throughout the last three years of college. The day my professors have "prepared" me for. But in all reality, I don't really remember a thing they said. I'm kind of winging it. Of course I have a "plan" - I wouldn't be me without one. But I'm definitely only a day ahead of the curve.

Hopefully I'll catch up tomorrow? :)

I, of course, am not sleeping and am repetitively going over my to do list. I just set my alarm for 5:30am, so... wish me luck!! 

"Before they were movies..." 
I took book covers/movie covers and put the information together. A few of my favorites are "The Number Four," "The Hunger Games," "Beastly," etc
 
Get Caught Reading - I will be adding student pictures soon. Look for an update.

 
My pride and joy: I'm really excited about this bulletin board.
